Imagine

Five days off, after a seven mile thrashing of my left quad/adductor in the chilly October afternoon along the Charles last Tuesday. 7.7 miles this afternoon, a perfect October day in New England. All the worry over the quad was, fortunately, for naught. 7 miles at 46:30, 6:39 average pace, splits: 6:26, 6:32, 6:33, 6:35, 6:37, 7:10 (hill), 6:34. Probably take it easy for a bit, make sure it's really okay, it was nearly four weeks off for me last Spring when I messed up my right quad. Four tentative races planned between now and Thanksgiving.
